Solution

Power of accommodation is the ability of the eye lens to focus near and far objects clearly on the retina by adjusting its focal length. In this process ciliary muscles help in changing the shape of lens by compressing and elongating it.

Power of accommodation of the eye is limited. It implies the focal length of the eye lens cannot be reduced beyond certain minimum limit.
